Life story

Peter John Brent was a man who loved his God, his family, his friends and the NY Yankees. He was a man of integrity and kindness. He had the patience of a saint and was extremely charitable. He believed you should treat others better than yourself and that you should remember that you are who you hang with. Education was a high priority and that meant in any way possible; not just in a classroom. In fact, his favorite question for anyone he met was "Where did you go to school?"

Peter John made you feel seen, heard....and valued.
